This week, Aaron and Leyla celebrate March Madness by revisiting an anime that's been haunting them since the sports sampler episode, Kuroko no Basket. Join us for discussions of phantom boys, horoscopes, and endless comparisons to Haikyu.

This week, we round out our month of romance with 1990's "Pretty Woman" and 2003's "Something's Gotta Give!" We discuss our undying love for Julia Roberts, the differences between love scenes and character arcs, and the wildest reason you could have a pair of scissors in your nightstand. 
also if you listen through the whole episode you do get to hear the funniest joke Aaron's ever made that will only land if you use tumblr

This week, Aaron and Leyla knock themselves out with the supernatural Bollywood romcom, Phillauri (2017)! Join us for a quintessential Mortified jaunt through a movie we objectively liked but wanted to be better, and know that we definitely forgot to mention a possible ghost pregnancy.

Mortified is back for its 5th season! Aaron and Leyla cluck around with Chicken Run 2 and Chicken Police, as we discuss poultry justice, using mental health as a narrative device, and the horniest minigame in the medium.

It's clip show time! Please enjoy the best of Mortified over the last 50 episodes! I think it's a great smorgasbord of silly bits, personal anecdotes, and genuinely good media criticism. Can't wait for the next 50!
Notably I did not include the Way of Water episode because that cannot be removed from its original context, if you want to see how the Avatar watch saga concludes, just listen to Ep 127.
